Carnivorous Sheep

The Carnivorous Sheep are a herd of flesh-eating sheep owned by the CyclopsPolyphemus. They guarded the Golden Fleece. They are kept separate from Polyphemus's regular sheep by a rope bridge and ravine because otherwise they would eat the other animals. Only Polyphemus can approach them, but even then, the sheep get restless if he is not carrying some sort of meat for the sheep to devour.
